The girls love Tteokbokki and recently became obsessed with Rosé Tteokbokki after trying it for the first time at BB.Q Chicken. I’m not a huge Tteokbokki fan, but after trying this a few times myself, I became obsessed too! You know that if they love something, Imma learn how to make it at home.
Rosé tteokbokki is a Korean dish that combines the traditional spicy rice cakes (tteokbokki) with a smoky and creamy gochujang sauce. The smokiness comes from bacon! This combination creates a rich, savory, spicy, and sweet amazingness and is super addicting!
Ingredients:
1 pound rice cake for tteokbokki, soaked in cold water for 1 hour
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup Rosé Tteokbokki sauce
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
4 strips of bacon (~6 ounces), cut into bite sized pieces
4 ounces Korean fish cakes, sliced into strips
2 hard boiled eggs, shelled and halved
¼ onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 green onions, finely chopped
Rosé Tteokbokki Sauce Ingredients:
2 tablespoons gochujang
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon gochugaru
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons sugar
Steps:
Make Rosé Tteokbokki Sauce – In a small bowl, combine all the Rosé Tteokbokki Sauce ingredients and mix well. Set aside.
Make Rosé Tteokbokki – In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat for 5 minutes until fat renders and bacon begins to crisp up. Add chopped onions and sauté for 3 minutes until the onions are translucent. Add white part of green onions and garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the Rosé Tteokbokki Sauce and mix for about a minute until everything is fully combined. Slowly stir in the heavy cream and milk until the sauce is smooth and turns pink. Add rice cakes, fish cakes, and parmesan cheese to the sauce and mix until fully combined. Reduce the heat down to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens up to a gravy like consistency. Top with mozzarella cheese, hard boiled eggs, and chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Torch the top of the cheese for extra colors.
- Add thinly sliced meat for extra protein!
- Once you make the sauce, the topping options are endless.
- If you don’t have heavy cream, use all milk. You may need to reduce it a bit longer.
